$20-1250 USD

$20-1250 USD

Paid on delivery
Position: Rewriter Positions available: 3 Duration: As long as it takes. Could be a year. In 2010, I’ve came up with an idea that later ended up to be a universe of imagination. There is nothing of its kind out there, and beta-readers agree it’s a category of its own. I wrote the first two books with the third book in rough draft and book four and five waiting for my time to be written. My goal is to be 100% original without using pre-existing mythical creatures or categories like magic. Genre: YA coming-of-age fiction Books: Series of 7-8 Offer: (Will be placed on a contract drafted by a contract lawyer) - Bonus of lifetime maximum $1,000,000 paid at 10% of author’s earnings from book 1 o May include merchandise and movie - Name placed in the book 1 as “Rewriter” - Acknowledgement that you were a rewriter to the public and you get credit for rewriting (I will never take full credit) - One time fixed pay of $20 (proves a paid job) Why do I seek a rewriter? I am a creator. I create the world of my imagination and simply drop people in them to see how they react to the world. I never wanted to be a writer and don’t like reading. I am an engineer. My imagination is what makes the story intriguing. With the help of movies and reading how to write, I was able to achieve a story. I plan far out. I write in a condense manner, like a dried raisin. I need a rewriter to plumb the writing to make it into a juicy fruit by adding rich vocabulary words, interpersonal emotions, dialogue structure, and etc. Why 5 rewriters? I want this series to start great. The more heads to bounce ideas from, the richer the story can be. I make the ultimate decision on what ideas stay. The way this will work is that all rewriters will read the book. They will critique it. Then will learn what was intended to be told from me. Then they will rewrite it. After the rewrite, all rewriters will read each other rewrite version of the book. Then as a team, all will collect the best ideas and make one final rewrite as a team to be the final story. Requirements - Must be a USA citizen - Willing to submit a sample rewrite of 1 paragraph - Very creative with a great imagination - Read plenty of YA books - Knows how to self-edit and self-proofread - Is considered a professional YA writer - Work as a group and share ideas - Willing to understand the whole series to its core by reading a lot of material provided by the author - Skype call Prior beta-readers rate this book as a fun read, creative, imaginative, and worth having. I have one very large flaw with the story that could easily be fixed, it has similarities with Harry Potter. Send me an email/message with your interest and your background. Also send a rewrite sample of the following paragraph: Veeloo looked into the sky and saw light orbs floating down like snow. The sky looked as if the stars fell out of their place and rained upon the lands. Veeloo looked at the ground and the trees saw them glow as the Night Light Drops rested on everything it touched. Then he saw them vanish after a few seconds to a minute.

I have read over a thousand books in my lifetime, many in the YA genre. I am also well versed in the fantasy genre. I find this project intriguing for several reasons. First, it is a group project. Several different viewpoints is a unique way to write a story. It allows for broader creativity and many different directions to take it. And as long as their is an authoritative person in charge that has the final say so, egos shouldn't clash. Second, the basis for the story is already there. Sometimes that is the hardest part. Fleshing the story out is long, arduous work but is very rewarding in the end. With good source material the leg work becomes less painful. Additionally, this is a long term project. With so many "cooks in the kitchen" you are bound to run into ideas that may be good but you just don't have a place for. With a book series, all those great ideas can be revisited and explored until exhausted. The night sky started changing rapidly around Veeloo. Little flecks of bluish white light fell slowly on the trees and grass and stayed there, illuminating them much like Christmas lights. Veeloo reached his hand out but could not touch the flecks. He studied the trunk of a tall pine near him up close and couldn't find them. He could see their affect all over, lighting up the plant life in a beautiful yet unnatural tinge. They seemed to be able to be held only by the eye and not by the finger. And as quickly as they had fallen, they were gone again.

I have been a self taught writer since I was 11 years old. I've taken a few writing classes, but most of what I know is what I learned from reading lots of books. I have a couple of short stories published as ebooks and I am currently working on novels to eventually get published as well. I write mostly fantasy and fiction that would be considered YA but recently I've been practicing with songwriting and poetry. I also edit my own work, checking for spelling and grammar, punctuation, repeated words and even sentences that would sound better if written differently. I understand the importance of drawing the reader in within the first sentence, or even the title. I work well with other people fantasy is my favorite genre to write. I will do all of this and more for your project. You are more than welcome to contact me to discuss further details. Here is my rewrite for the sample you gave. Veeloo gazed up at the sky and saw orbs of light falling like snow, as if the stars fell out of their place and gently descended upon the lands. Looking at his surroundings as the Night Light Drops rested on everything it touched, his eyes reflected the light they gave off. The land and the trees glowed like Christmas lights. But each orb of light was short lived, disappearing within a few seconds. Hope you like my rewrite sample. I imagined it very beautifully and I hope you can see it too.
